[0032]Preferably, message translation is a batch process that runs on a frequent basis. It is driven by a Unix Shell script tricycle, which calls all the necessary programs in the order they need to run. A language code is a one-letter code that refers to a language. For example, French is referred to as f. In the following detailed process descriptions, this code is abbreviated as lang-code. A language pair is a two-letter code that refers to the two languages from and to which translation occurs. The first letter is the source language; the second is the target language. For example, in an English-to-German translation, the language pair is eg. In the detailed process descriptions, this is abbreviated as lang-pair. Post-filtering refers to the process by which messages are further prepared for the pre-posting process once they have been translated. A shell script is a Unix-based file that contains a list of Unix commands.

Abstract
The present invention allows subscribers to an online information service to participate in real-time conferencing or chat sessions in which a message originating from a subscriber in accordance with a first language is translated to one or more languages before it is broadcast to the other conference areas. Messages in a first language are translated automatically to one or more other languages through language translation capabilities resident at online information service host computers. Access software that subscribers use for participating in conference is integrated with speech recognition and speech generation software such that a subscriber may speak the message he or she would like to share with other participants and may hear the messages from the other participants in the conference. Speech-to-speech translation may be accomplished as a message spoken into a computer microphone in accordance with a first language may be recited by a remote computer in accordance with a second language.
